This thread is designed to make people feel good. We all know that something as simple as a smile can lift the spirits of anyone, and a quote thats inspirational can change the lives of many.

Ive been receiving motivational and inspairational quotes and 'insights' in my inbox for a while now and every time i do it makes me feel great. Even if im having the crappiest of days. So, everyday im going to post one of the quotes in this thread (hopefully i remember everyday

), and if anyone else would like to add some of their own please feel free...

"Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days... What you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it."

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
1749-1832, Poet, Novelist and Scientist

Love that one... There's always so much more you can do in a day, stuff not having the energy DO IT ANYWAY. If you're bored at work, take a client/boss/collegue out for coffee, get to know them. Try something different for lunch, drive a different way to and from work (whats the rush??), catch the bus/train if you usually drive. Step outside your comfort zone!!

Trust me you'll be glad you did...

Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.
You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.
You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend.
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

Believe In Yourself
Believe in yourself and you can achieve
Things you never thought possible
Believe in yourself and you can discover
Talents new, that lie away hidden

Believe in yourself and you can reach
New heights that you thought unscalable
Believe in yourself and you can solve
Problems that defy any solution

Believe in yourself and you can conquer
Any situation, however difficult
Believe in yourself and you can make
The most complicated things seem simple

Believe in yourself and you can learn
The skills of gaining knowledge from experience
Believe in yourself and you can enjoy
The beauty in nature's abundance

Believe in yourself and you can perceive
New depths your senses can apprehend
Believe in yourself and you can perform
Way beyond your expectations

Believe in your goal and work towards it
With determination and dedication
Believe in yourself and output enhance
By contributing to a given situation

Believe in yourself and you'll feel blessed
As God's very own special creation.

Edit** I was just talking to Chris about this one and perhaps it can be read in a way that if you are afraid of something you should avoid it. Not really the case, you should face your fear. Maybe this quote is a way of showing you different options to take when you are afraid...

I like Step Three... it took me so long to get the guys' in my group to just say Thank You when i made a compliment about their appearance.. (i think some guys find it a little uncomfortable at first) and they all feel better about themselves now.. they make an effort and they just seem happier! i find that sometimes girls don't make enough of an effort to tell ppl (men in particular) that they are sexy, cute, or just look good in what they are wearing. i mean we alway's turn to our girlfriends and say.. "wow u look hot in that!"

Here are some motivational quotes and just plain inspiring quotes that I stumbled across..

"Yesterday has already passed. Tomorrow may never come. So, why not use TODAY to dream big and chase them, help someone that needs it, and just flat out live!"

" Hard work is straight line and luck is a curved line. Follow the straight line and the curved line will follow you."

" It's never to late to become what you could have been." - that one is a good one

OMG and this one!!

"Even the hardest mathematics problems usually have an easy solution; it is just finding the right formula that can be difficult. When confronted with difficulties in life, don't look for the solution, look for the formula which we all have: contentment=positive thought + positive action. Once you've worked out the positives, you can work out the solution."

In regards to making yourself a happier person:

.....Take control. Repairing unhappy conditions requires active effort. People often assume external conditions will change for the better or let chance determine their response. That's a mistake. "Get control," Csikszentmihalyi says. When things aren't right, "you have to put in the same effort you would if your business were in trouble. Just as markets move, life changes too.".......

Someone sent me this poem the other day...but I have no idea whether it is supposed to be saying something good or something terribly bad...anyone got any clues?

What if you simply left the world that you knew.
In the immerging void what if you were able to have yourself.
And this new found freeness was actually for you.
Knowns are simply this, past knowledge and memory.
Where would life now begin, where would one chose for it to be.
Everything we think we know is more than likely a lie, possibly,
as the only lie we can identify is those tales we tell ourselves.
Best to keep our own stories closest or alter the style we talk to ourselves through.

"Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose."

Helen Keller

Many people today live their entire lives on the basis of "seeing is believing." That is to say, the only images they get emotionally involved with are the ones they can discern with their physical senses. But the individuals of real "vision," down through the ages, have always known the overriding principle is, "what you see is what you get."

Expressed somewhat differently, what this means is that the images in people's minds, actually precede the concrete images, which pervade our material world. Therefore, you should be aware of the fact that the fascinating physical world we see before us, with all of its conveniences for making our lives more comfortable, has been built largely by image-makers - men and women of vision who knew what they could do, and EXPECTED everything else to "fall into place," regardless of what their critics might say to the contrary.

Remember, you will only receive what you truly expect, not what you only wish for.
